If you want to be heard,
you must learn to truly listen.

[Dan Olson @DanThink]

Saying “I hear you” doesn’t mean you did.

Reflecting people’s words back to them proves you were really listening.

Mirroring their language and terminology disarms defensiveness.

@theChrisDo is such a brilliant communicator. Brand strategist extraordinaire. Follow him on clubhouse IMMEDIATELY.

He knows how to push for tight questions. I appreciate his “a-type, cantankerous” ways.

Are you using “How Might We” phrasing to zoom out on your questions?

Never pass up the chance to make a seemingly small thing interesting. I’ve seen pizza boxes more engaging than many so-called big ideas.

[Dan Olson @DanThink]

@CNNPolitics I was just reading an article on #fakenews on Fox and got swept up in the comments - why don't you have a comment section?
